What Christian and Jewish leaders have had to say about Israel the Miracle.
“Israel the Miracle” is a must-read coffee table book. In this amazing, illustrated compilation of essays, Jonathan Feldstein and the Genesis 123 Foundation have masterfully showcased why millions of Christians worldwide wholeheartedly support the nation of Israel. This book will help build stronger relationships between Jews and Christians at a time when many are turning their backs on Israel. I strongly recommend this book not just for one’s private collection; I will personally utilize it as gifts to others to help spread the love for Israel and to build an unwavering support for the apple of Gods eye.

I am honored to endorse Israel the Miracle. Essays from 75 devoted advocates share gleaming insights about our spiritual homeland during its 75th Sapphire anniversary year. God reveals His design for Jerusalem in Isaiah 54:11 to use blue sapphires for its foundation. Israel is the only place on earth where rare deep blue Mt. Carmel Sapphires are found. Israel itself, shining as a rarity, is the only nation on earth where God declares in Leviticus, “the land is mine.”

"Israel the Miracle" is an extraordinary book that is much more than just a collection of beautiful pictures. This captivating centerpiece will impress your guests and set the perfect tone for in-depth theological conversation. When I first looked through this book, I was struck by its stunning images of the Holy Land. However, "Israel the Miracle" is more than a visual treat. It presents serious theological issues in simple, easy-to-read segments, including topics such as the legality of Israel, prophetic fulfillment, and the coming Messiah. I highly recommend this brilliant book to anyone who wishes to understand and study the Bible.

The spectrum of authors is indeed remarkable, collectively painting a rich, diverse, and complex tapestry of voices that truly bring to life the miracles of Israel. Thanks a gazillion times Genesis 123 Foundation for changing the game.

I am so proud of my friend Jonathan Feldstein and the Genesis 123 Foundation for the completion of this magnificent project. Israel the Miracle speaks to all and gathers the stories of so many brilliant people who have shared their hearts about what Israel means to them. It is my heart that Israel, the state, and its people continue to be God's miracle. I grew up being inspired by their heroes, who became my heroes. Today's State of Israel continues to be a miracle not just one from a dream of long ago but one we can experience today. I can’t wait until we can also celebrate a Spanish edition.

A new generation of young Christians desperately need to hear these diverse perspectives on the miracle of Israel from this all-star array of Christian leaders.

If we ever needed hope for the future, it is now. I will never forget the life changing experience when I first visited Israel fifty years ago, the deep sense of hope I felt that this is a place where God is at work today to change the world. It changed me forever. This stunningly beautiful book Israel The Miracle with powerful essays by Christian leaders from around the world, communicates that hope.

The strong support which Israel receives from Christians uplifts the spirits of the people of Israel and strengthens the Jewish state. It is such a blessing to be a partner with brothers and sisters of faith from around the world in celebrating the open fulfillment of biblical prophecies happening before our eyes in the lan of Israel today. In the remarkable essays that fill "Israel the Miracle," Jonathan Feldstein, the Genesis 123 Foundation, and the authors have captured all of these sentiments. May Jonathan, the Genesis 123 Foundation, the authors, and all readers be the recipients of much divine blessing as a result of this spectacular project.

“Israel the Miracle” captures the heart and soul of the land that God gave the Jewish people. But its more than just another book about how this miracle happened; it's a look at God’s goodness and grace as seen through the lens of the beauty of the land and the people to whom He gave it. I know you’ll love seeing how God’s supernatural hand brought His people home to the land that He gave them so long ago!

I love Israel. There’s a renewing power that comes with visiting there that fills my soul with every visit. I’ve felt what it feels like when you walk in the footsteps of Jesus. "Israel the Miracle" is a powerful depiction of that reality, expressed by dozens of Christian leaders from all around the world. Many of these are my good friends. More than just a book that you read, it's a visual experience to enjoy. It is truly beautiful. I pray that this book will expose readers to the people of Israel, the Land in which Jesus lived, and his people.

I was blessed to be one of the first people to see the proof of “Israel the Miracle.” at the 2023 NRB Convention. My immediate reaction was hos stunning and impressive it is. As I was sitting there, several friends came along side of me looking at the book. Their words affirmed what I thought, "Oh, what a beautiful book where can I get one?" Leafing through the pages together, the comments were always the same. "This is such a beautiful book. I must have one." It will stir your heart as you reflect on Israel's 75 years, and give you a love for Israel like perhaps you never had before. You will be amazed how easy it is to grab a copy book and get lost in the beautiful pictures and stories. “Israel the Miracle,” is a must-read book for every home.

For proof that God keeps His covenant and promises, and that His Word is true, all you have to do is look at modern Israel. After 75 years of statehood and restored Jewish sovereignty to the Land of Israel, today we are seeing countless miracles and prophecies happening in front of our eyes. “Israel the Miracle” captures this reality through the unique voices of Christian leaders around the world along with breathtaking images. It is a treasure, and a keepsake for your entire family.

As a Jew who grew up in the Land of Israel, and as a millennial, I am privileged and take for granted a great deal of Israel's stunning landscape and biblical prophetic words coming to life around me. When I see Israel through the lens of these Christian leaders, I am reminded and awestruck by their recognition of this beautiful land and her people. I read in their words about our resilience as a nation, our eternal promise still remembered by God, and our alliance with Christians around the world who remind us, we are not alone. I am grateful to Jonathan Feldstein and the Genesis 123 Foundation for making this possible and bringing such a wide swath of Christian leaders to come together in support of our eternal homeland, Israel.

For over 75 years people have tried to communicate the significance of the nation of Israel through archeology, Biblical teaching, pilgrimage tours, and more. Each of these approaches come with varying obstacles for many people. “Israel the Miracle” has managed to summarize the beauty, emotion, and significance of Israel, while simultaneously continuing the process of healing and unification between people of both Jewish and Christian faiths. It not only builds your faith, but it packages experts across the faith with beautiful imagery and story in a way that allows those who love Israel to share that love through a coffee table book that will draw you in like few others can.
